him an existential threat. >> his critics make the point this is somebody running for the democratic nomination but isn't a democrat. that's a weakness for some people, at least they perceive it to be a weakness in terms of why would democrats trying to oust a republican president donald trump put somebody in there that's a, not a leader in their party, and b, not getting some of the support he needs from other parts of that party. that said, bernie sanders obviously was a force in 2016. he is still a force going into 2020, but he has more people in that space. elizabeth warren is certainly one of them. and that itself for him is a threat. >> later on today biden and booker are the last ones slated to talk during the democratic convention. there was some video showed them last night looking rather amicable. seemed to be some pleasantries perhaps exchanging after the you apologize, no, you apologize, nobody apologize. so john, do you think the two separately will address this and establish no, we're all on the same team, trying to unseat the incumbent? >> that's what you heard today. and last ni

our next guest is a united states senator from minnesota who is seeking the democratic nomination forr president. please welcome senator amy klobuchar. ♪ [ applause ] >> jimmy: thanks for coming all the way out here. >> thank you. >> jimmy: why are you running for president? i mean, there are so many people running for president. is it one of those things where you look at donald trump and you go, i could certainly do that? did he inspire you in a way? >> of course he did. first of all, it's good to sit down with someone who's not running for president. >> jimmy: give me some time. >> oh, i see. >> jimmy: no, that will never happen. >> first of all, what makes me different, one, i'm a woman. there's not that many of us. >> jimmy: i was going to mention that. >> and i say may the best woman win. secondly, i am from the midwest. and, as you know in 2016 we had some trouble winning the midwest, and i have won all these rural counties. every congressional district that's red in my district over and over again. i am someone who gets things done. and last time i checked the american people

tracker poll looks at potential voters in 18 states that will determine who ultimately wins the democratic nomination. it's early but the poll shows joe biden is still leading. elizabeth warren and bernie sanders are behind him. kamala harris rounds out the top tier. joining us with more is cbs news director of elections is and surveys anthony sillvanto. >> when you look at the candidates voter says they are considering, you see how much there's a race. warren, sanders, harris, buttigieg, that describes the top tier of candidates that we see heading into the debates. >> what does eligibility mean to democrats andmo electable? >> democrats say they have to be convinced someone can beat president trump. booiden in the lead in that sense. most democrats think he can. the others seem to be 50/50 propositions in the minds of democrats. that's a case they will have to make. >> is there a difference, anthony, between progressives and moderates in the party on what voter want from a candidate? >> it appear this is is right now. folks who say they would like a progressive agenda than ever before. therefore, b

presidential election has highlighted policy differences between ten of the 20 candidates for the democratic nominationates after a photograph emerged of a man and his baby daughter lying face down in a river after drowning as they tried to cross the mexican border into texas. italy's interior minister has said he won't allow 42 migrants aboard a rescue ship to disembark, after it defied the authorities by entering italian territorial waters. now it's time to look at the stories that are making the headlines in the media across the world. we begin with the frontpage of the i paper which covers the conservative leadership battle here in the uk. it says that 20 mps would defy boris johnson and block a no—deal brexit should he try to push it through parliament. the washington post looks at the steps social media companies have taken to tackle misinformation in democratic debates. the first debate took place on wednesday and companies have taken additional measures after analysis showed that debates were key for the spread of disinformation in 2016. the times reports that scientists predict the end of cerv

now as a senator running for the democratic nomination, her background is making some in the party question progressive credentials. joining me now is tyler pager. how is this going over with voters? taking extra steps now to defend the decision, to be a prosecutor. i was with her last weekend in las vegas and she talked more directly about the decisions she made to be a prosecutor, painting it in personal terms, trying to fix the system from within, as opposed to being an activist on the outside. there are still some questions among democratic party leaders, rank-and-file democrats about whether or not she is progressive enough, and about that record on crime, but a lot of people said that she is making strides to defend that record and some say that she does not need to defend that record because she was making changes from within the system. particularly as a woman of color, important to have representation in those rooms. vonnie: first woman elected and san francisco district attorney, and then as california attorney general in 2010. phenomenally qualified. maybe she had to take some po

i bet marshall is going to vote for whoever the democrats nominate, who has no idea of the history of the democrats racism. he is not looking at the results. he wants to play tit-for-tat. you're going to lose, marshall. if you want to believe donald trump was a racist, and you want to talk about the idea of him being a successful person, the young black kid growing up poor, i emulated people like donald trump. before he became president, so did most of the rappers. he is probably one of the most mentioned white people in rap music. donald trump got a $1 million loan from his father. how much money have you loaned your son to start his business. i can tell you how much my father loaned me. he was in san quentin prison. when he got out that he asked me for $250 that i never got back. son is anoading his investment. his son took that investment and made himself into a billion air, giving many people jobs, including thousands of black people. you seem to ignore that because you've got talking points. all you've got our talking points. that is the sad part about this than. -- think. most o

this is the party base and see who can do it but again those are the people that vote in the democratic nomination. their fight isn't the general. it's the primary. pohl let's turn to some of the candidates. kamala harris is the big story coming out with the attack on joe biden's record. was that a fair attack just on the factual about biden? >> i don't think it was a fair attack specifically when you're talking about the senator. he tried to push back on that a little bit saying i wasn't saying that i agreed with these people. >> he's said i disagreed that i had to work with them because they were in the senate. >> i i had to smile at them so that i could beat them is what he was saying but it's a savvy attack from a political standpoint. if you look at south carolina joe biden has been cleaning up among black voters in if you're kamala harris in the lower level of the polls you need to eat some of that up. pohl cam elizabeth warren versus bernie sanders. as elizabeth warren now the person the democratic progressive say you know what i can get 95% of bernie's agenda with a different face and a fr

he is going to be going harder after china by the president and his competitors for the democratic nomination, many of , that while they disagree with the president on how he has approached the trade issue, all are agreeing the u.s. needs to be tougher on china and get a better trade situation with the worlds second-largest economy. david: thank you so much for reporting from washington. let's stay in washington and turned to bill faires on foreign affairs issues. syngenta abe is visiting -- shinzo abe is visiting iran. what is his mission there? bill: we think he is serving as a bridge between the trump administration and iran. tensions in the ball were ratcheting up as the u.s. deployed additional warships. there were attacks on oil cargo warships and pipelines. there was a sense that with iran and the u.s. not speaking, something could escalate into a major confrontation. shinzo abe's trip allows donald trump to have someone who he is close to in terms of world leaders. this is someone he plays golf with. it allows some access from someone who has connections with trump to be able to see i

you'll see bernie sanders here go to where you can win the democratic nomination. tell everyone, the people who elect the democratic nominee are my mom and her friends. they are black women throughout the south not only here in south carolina but on super tuesday, that's going to be where the democratic nomination is won. you can have battles with third way all you want, but if you don't have black women supporting you, it ain't really going to matter. >> all right. so you know this state well. what is it that your mom and other south carolinians want to hear? what are the issues and the promise of tackling those issues that they want to hear? >> reporter: before you even get to the issues, you have to build these relationships. that's why hillary clinton did so well in 2016, that's why barack obama did so well in 2008. it's very hard to parachute into black communities and go a church and have a fish fry. you have to have sustained relationship with the community and build trust. we talk about issues such as infrastructure and education, having a black agenda is im

looking to separate themselves from the pack of more than two dozen candidates battling for the democratic nomination in 2020. >> a lesser known candidate, you have to make a mark in the debate. it will be a predicate for fund raising and media attention. >> reporter: the participants include elizabeth warren, cory booker, and new york city mayor, former texas congressman beto o'rourke, and castro. they will try to convince voters they should challenge president trump in 2020. they will have 60 seconds to answer questions and 30 seconds for follow ups. >> the opportunity for a candidate to break through is pretty slim. you won't get a lot of time. >> reporter: senator elizabeth warren leads the polls among tonight's debaters. she sees this as a chance to tell voters why she's running. >> the reason i'm in the race is because we have a government right now that works great better billionaires and giant corporations. not the rest of us. >> reporter: former vice president joe biden and sanders and harris are among the candidates taking the stage tomorrow night. and we're expecting a whole lot of topics

the first debate between the rival contenders for the democratic party's presidential nomination nextours let's take a look at some front pages from around the world. let's begin with the japan times. at friday's g20 summit in osaka they speculate the main meeting will be overshadowed by one—on—one talks between world leaders that will influence key issues. the front page of hong kong's south china morning post is again focusing on the extradition bill. during a new wave of demonstrations, a senior police source says the intensity of the public backlash against them meant they had to pull out of their posts, and added that maintaining police morale is essential. and finally let's look at the straits times, published here in singapore. what you see here are crabs, but they're grown in a laboratory. it's a sustainable solution to allow singaporeans to continue to enjoy their favourite crab dishes, now, what stories are sparking discussions online? yes, let's looks at what is trending right now. what do you think beat toy story 4 at the chinese box office this weekend? well, bizarrely, i

the latest headlines: the first debate between the rival contenders for the democratic party's presidential nominatione, tax, immigration and gun control. discussions are continuing in the us congress to try to secure emergency aid to ease the migrant crisis on the border with mexico. italy says it won't allow any migrants to disembark a rescue boat which is currently off the coast of the italian island of lampedusa. sea—watch 3 is carrying 42 migrants, including women and children, whom it rescued in the mediterranean two weeks ago. despite the risk of heavy fines, the ship's captain says she had to head to italy because the migrants are exhausted. ramzan karmali reports. the charity ship sea—watch 3, heading to the italian island of lampedusa. from a distance, it looks like any other vessel heading to shore, but this boat is carrying 42 migrants it rescued two weeks ago from a rubber boat in the mediterranean. since that rescue, it has been sailing back and forth off the coast of italy's southernmost island. an exhausted captain described what happened when officials climbed on board. they have chec

i think what we're going to see tonight, the democrats, who are vying for the democratic nomination,hey're having debates tomorrow. i hope they will make efforts to keep this in the public domain. when we look at polls we see the majority of citizens want to see the system work better. so i think people are going to remain up in arms, and they're going to put pressure on congress to do something. you're watching newsday on the bbc. still to come on the programme: we ask the dalai lama, the exiled leader of tibet, whether he thinks his successor could ever be a woman. members of the neo—nazi resistance movement stormed the world trade centre armed with pistols and shotguns. we believe that, according to international law, that we have a rightful claim in certain parts of this country as ourland. i take pride in the words "ich bin ein berliner." chapman, prison—pale and slightly chubby, said not a single word in open court. it was left to his lawyer to explain his decision to plead guilty to murdering john lennon. he believes that onjune 8, god told him to plead guilty and that was the

look at the freshmen who won in trump districts where public opinion is not the same as the democratic nominating electorate. she has a difficult political choice to make. kamala harris does not. >> nancy pelosi may be making those democrats in trump districts nervous by being so hand wringing about it. >> i'm not saying she's doing the right thing. i'm saying for her the political choice is complicated. for kamala harris, elizabeth warren, bernie sanders not a difficult choice. >> justin amash, a republican, seems to view the facts of the mueller report the same way that kamala harris does. >> the question is what does his political future look like, because the president is talking to potential primary challengers wi with, justin amash is rumored to be possibly mounting a third party challenge. but the irony is by beating up on him, the more the president corrals the party to beat up justin amash, it almost leads no option than to launch the third party bid out there. is it going to be kasich or some other republican to create that other lane, which would be detrimental if there was people like

the national poll gives joe biden a substantial early lead in the race for the democratic nomination. biden drew 32% support in the poll. senator bernie sanders comes in 2nd. senator elizabeth warren pulls in 9%. and senator pamela harris took in 8%. >>> people are recovering after a blast inside a home in union city. at a home on elizabeth way. 5 people were inside that house when the explosion happened. one man has serious burns and is being treated at the skrashg santa clara county burn. >> we thought that it was a car that crashed into a house or another car or something and we came outside and somebody came running out of the house yelling it's bad it's bad call 911. >> now that woman said the shaking felt like an earthquake. investigators now say there were two large canisters of butane inside the house that may have been exposed to a pilot light or some other type of flame that caused the blast. and inspectors will be at the house later today to decide if it should be condemned. >>> defendant max harris will answer more questions in his ghost ship wlous trial today. ktvu's henr

(mom) yeah honey, how about we play... princess and pirates? (announcer) imagine what you can do with more migraine-free days. (pirate) arr! (mom) en garde!

i believe that joe biden will get the democratic nomination. my theory is this.he democratic nomination goes through black voters in the south, particularly older black voters. they're comfortable with joe biden. he has a lot of cache as serving under the first black president and that's the way they're going to go. i'm very surprised that after joe biden served as vice president for eight years, the mainstream media is just under earthing these comments. that's funny. >> neil: that's the risk and danger of being around a long time. >> it is. i kind of have to laugh at these calls for stability. they're going to work about it like in 2016, republicans don't snipe at each other. this is a really crowded field like cory booker in the bottom tier will do anything they can to scrap their way up. >> they had a phone call. the idea is let bygones be bygones. >> this incident may not do him any good. we still have a long way to go. >> neil: the incident has to do with how he characterized talks with segregationists. >> and joe biden has been telling this story for many

supposed to be -- he had tremendous power to shape the focus of the general campaign and the democratic nomination process. van buren and calhoun did not like one another. calhoun is looking to torpedo van buren's nomination. annexation became more important in the public eye. received queries from individuals and groups of democrats across the country asking for his opinion on annexation. he chose to respond to one particular request by a mississippi representative. letter was written in van buren's usual meandering manner. if you have not read any of his van buren's letters, not only is his and running terrible, goes on and on, much like my students when the r train to reach their word count. outlined theetter annexation of texas. taking a stand against it, may have pleased his friends but doomed the chance for presidential nomination. -- inil, jackson asked may, jackson asked polk to visit him at the hermitage. the general pronounced to polk immediate annexation is not only important but indispensable. in buren and jackson's -- jackson's estimation said he committed a fatal error. jackson belie

. >>> anita hill's says she is open to voting for joe biden as president if he wins the democratic nomination. you will recall she testified before congress in 1991 saying the supreme court nominee clarence thomas had sexually harassed her. biden was chairman of the senate judiciary committee at that time. hill has criticized him for his handling of those hearings. the former vice president has acknowledged hill was vilified by his colleagues and says he personally did nothing that would require an apology. >>> all a's trained service was canceled today after a gas leak in livermore. it was reported around midnight near the union pacific tracks. crews say they've isolated the leak and have shut off the flow of gas to the pipeline. they say the area is safe and no customers are currently affected. ace officials are expecting to have normal train service resume tomorrow. >>> let's bring in our chief meteorologist to talk about the forecast and cool temperatures even tomorrow. >> even coolerthe coolest day overall the highs from today, 90s inland. everyone was tired of the heat and with the heat

the others running against him for the democratic nomination. what was fascinating was this. . john caspetini, al dimato, former senator, plenty of democrats, they were all there. it does say something -- neil: they are there to give him money? >> yeah. yeah. people maxed out, from what i understand. again, lots of signs. 180 donors. i will say this. i'm not saying joe biden's going to win. if he does win, he matches up against and that's what all these folks know, they're not stupid, he matches up against trump tremendously in those battleground states and he's going to have the money to take it home and they think he's got -- he's the one guy that can go toe-to-toe with trump on the insults and everything else. notice how biden is not attacking trump -- has been attacking trump personally, not his democratic opponents. right? at this event he barely mentioned trump. he mentioned just some of his ideas. he said listen, people, i just want you to know, we will have to do something for the middle class in this country which is falling behind. that's what he said. not saying it'

we're going to beat trump and win the democratic nomination. >> are you a democrat?rse i'm a democrat. this is a democratth democratic national convention -- a democratic primary here. >> that's an easier answer to that question than i feel like we got in 2016. thank you very much for being here today. >>> joining me now ali vitali. i think we also have former senior advisor to hillary clinton's campaign, adrian ellrod and from washington former senior advisor to jeb bush, michael steele. ali, let's talk about a little bit of what we heard from senator bernie sanders, and forgive me, again, we are still getting sound tests here where this debate stage is unfolding behind us. he was pretty clear in saying that he was a democrat, which, you know, feels a little new to my ears, but he also wouldn't say that he would get out of the race before the convention if it's clear he's not going to be the nominee. >> kasie, that exchange really struck knee, too. you have the sound check, we have the heat out here. on that exchange i was really struck by when he was saying that he

stacey abrams has not yet decided whetr she will run for the democratic nomination after losing a tightvernoa in geoast year. she has been speaking ith theka bbc's kattand christian for their program "beyond 100 days." katty: were you one of the couple dozen democrats who are running to unseat donald trump, would you be concerned that the images of him with the queen and rthim playing the f being the statesman abroad perhaps burnish his reputation at home and make it harder to win the white house for the democrats? ms. abrams: i would if he had not incited a feud with the mayor of london before he landed and began a very solemn and celebratory day with an unnecessary feud with an actor. i thinwe as americans are very clear on tna multi-faceted re of donald trump and what he will be held to is whether he performed the service of president for all americans. when that is adjudicated, he will not prevail. christian: since we are talking about the race in 2020, we should ask you, are you still contplating running? ms. abrams: i am indeed. again, i'm not in a hurry to make a decision, not be

is that -- let me put it this way, i mean, if the democratic party nominates another older white maleeal to a lot of democratic voters? >> you know, i think what's in people's heart right now is they want somebody that can help heal these divisions, not make them worse. so they're going to look for a candidate that speaks of us as a country with values, not as individuals with problems. is so i think the democratic party will be able to answer that challenge. gerry: is talking about impeachment going to help or hurt the democrats? >> it's always what people want, it's accountability. i'm with nancy pelosi on this. we can build a case for impeachment, but at the end of the day if this is just a partisan exercise and the republicans feel like, well, you know, we don't have to defend our democracy and our constitution the, fine. well, the democratic party's going to be in a pickle. at this point i think they're doing the right thing, they're doing oversight, and they've got to get to heart of the mueller report which is we had a foreign government attack our nation during an election cyc
